@JimMatisi @masterapologist @craigreedholy@JamesJosephK "The definition of atheism is a rejection of a claim without evidence."
That is more what is called evidential agnosticism. Atheism in philosophy is defined to be the BELIEF that theism is false or ostentatiously that ontologically that their are no Gods.
This fear-mongering, deceitfulness, and divisive language incites things like the #magabomer and #Charlottesville. It is not harmless. Certain Congresspersons are complicit in their silence or tacitly support it.
Remember that on the 6th.
Let me help you and @BetoORourke:
1) The "caravan" would not be illegally entering Texas: They're migrants seeking asylum, not this fear-mongering nonsense you and your ilk keep perpetuating (that's why they're suing the Trump Administration).
2) You're crazy.
Two basic Qs every reporter should ask Beto today: (1) should the “caravan” be allowed to cross illegally into Texas? (Beto refuses to answer.) And (2) did your campaign dollars illegally fund their doing so? https://t.co/5HcePn3AGs
A simple analogy:
Person A: *looks in lot* "Hey, someone stole my car!"
Person B: "Woah, you really believe it's gone?"
Person A: "No, I lack belief that it's there."
Person B: "I lack belief that you took your meds this morning."
Person A: "No, you believe I didn't."

@FeliksChaser @JimMatisi @A_Damned_smith@SteveMcRae_ @masterapologist @craigreedholy@JamesJosephK I have a real love for the sciences, natural and social. As a philosopher, I recognize our respective roles and the importance of our mutual contributions. We need each other.
Philosophers and scientists make an amazing team for understanding and describing the world.
@JimMatisi @SteveMcRae_ @masterapologist @craigreedholy@JamesJosephK Empiricism doesn't prove things. You know what does prove things? Proofs. As in logic. In philosophy. Meanwhile, your empiric head-in-the-sand-havin' ass is saddled with the induction fallacy. Forever.
I'd degrade you moronic, violent bigots in a post of some kind and then 'at' you in it, but you're now banned from all major social media platforms. Good riddance.

So-called Birthright Citizenship, which costs our Country billions of dollars and is very unfair to our citizens, will be ended one way or the other. It is not covered by the 14th Amendment because of the words “subject to the jurisdiction thereof.” Many legal scholars agree.....
